3 Perdue backers plead guilty to misdemeanors

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – Three of former North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue’s supporters are paying fines after pleading guilty in a case growing from an investigation of the Democrat’s 2008 campaign finances.

Long-time Perdue friend Trawick “Buzzy” Stubbs Jr. and former state magistrate Robert Caldwell of Morganton accepted plea bargains that reduced their charges from felonies. They were accused of hiding the source of money used to pay for the Perdue flights in 2007 and 2008.
